The Verdict
https://i.imgur.com/qqlkINv.jpg
All jokes and shoddy attempts at a wannabe journalistic narrative aside – its fair to say my life and musical mindset has changed a little over the last few days.
How can I best sum up the Warthog and Team Medic?
Well, in a strange way (that I hope does not get misconstrued), these 2 pedals don’t really sound like ‘anything’ to be honest. And that’s where the real beauty lies.
When sourcing and buying and trying pedals I generally have a pre-conceived idea of what they are supposed to sound like. And generally, these pedals are voiced in a way that the manufacturer is dictating to you how they want you to think you want to sound. A Tubescreamer sounds like a tubescreamer. A Rat sounds like a rat. A muff sounds like a muff. A DS1 sounds like a DS1 etc. I realise though that there isn’t actually by design a great deal of difference in any of these ‘classic’ circuits and its all pretty much a much of a muchness. I think we are blinded by the brand at times too.
I don’t know Adrian’s philosophy is when he designs these creations - but what I ‘get’ from these pedals is that they are designed and built to give you the very, very best representation of the sound that YOU want.
With the best buffers, the best quality components, the most reliable sockets, the least noise interference – you get the picture.
These pedal make me sound like ME, in the best way possible. The pinnacle. And I will be building my entire rig around these from now on.
Whilst I think CD’s are the best media vessels - when I hear a home hi-fi enthusiast talk about how the only way to truly appreciate a piece of music is via the organic warmth and clarity of a record on a turntable I understand where he is coming from.
Thorpy is vinyl. All the rest is mp3.
Superb. Give me an hour or two to absorb it
Thanks for that massive effort.
Superb mate - really liked that clip - some of it reminded me of the Smiths... Excellent.

Thanks. My band will definitely be getting a lawsuit (or tour offer) from Interpol when our stuff gets released!

I keep extending it, but have to draw the line Im afraid as a fair bit of work goes on behind it.
Apologies !
Finally in a position to shoot some videos properly so if you ever do a Heavy Water / Dane tourbox count me in.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
Ill chase him up
